How to Seek Hearing God’s Heart in Prayer

God has not only called me to preach, but He has also called me to prayer. It is important to note that Jesus commanded His disciples to preach, but He taught them to pray. The ministry God gave me was birthed and bathed in prayer, and I am grateful that millions have heard the Gospel proclaimed and professed their faith in Christ.

But even while blessed in my ministry, I found myself out of the will of God. I was often too busy preaching to spend necessary and important time in prayer.

I am so grateful that many years ago the Lord accomplished a marvelous work of deliverance and fullness to restore me to my first love. Jesus made me a servant to others – to ministers, missionaries, the Church and the suffering around the world.

The calling

For many years now, God has called me to meditate on His Word, research history and spend much time in prayer. When I pray, most of my time is spent primarily seeking to hear God’s heart. Jesus set the stage for those following Him when He said, “My sheep listen to My voice” (John 10:27).

As I have prayed and listened, these are impressions that came to my mind that have become a core part of my message to the world. Some examples are:

We can be an answer and help others be an answer to Jesus’ prayers.
Love never fails but is seldom fully received or freely released.
Our nation stumbles because the Church slumbers.
Money is not our problem; the love of money is the problem.

I have been sharing and will continue to share the impressions I have received while praying and seeking God’s will with all my heart. When you spend much time with someone and get to know them well, it’s amazing how clearly you hear and recognize their voice.

Because I do hear God’s heart, I am unable to hold back the release of the river of love, truth and concern that fills my heart to overflowing.

God has not just given me a sermon; He has given me a message. The latter demands a response and calls for immediate, appropriate action. As with hearing God, messages from Him will always be in perfect harmony with the Word of God.

And with that guiding me, I am praying continually, “Oh Lord, let us hear and respond to Your voice.”
